Get Metaphysical with REAKTOR

Get the bonus video here: www.bluewatervs...
REAKTOR's Metaphysical Function is a sound generator that produces everything from radiant timbral textures to bizarre Cthulhu-esque soundscapes. Pairing two independent sound generation units with 32 automatable faders, a sampler, a spot-on effects chain, and a stunning Lissajous display, Metaphysical Function provides a truly immersive (even hypnotic) experience.
Yet Metaphysical Function is really quite a breeze when you get a hold of the two main concepts are the foundation of its soundscape-generating magic. Consider yourself educated...

Youre the man, seriously.. what a nice sounding, intelligent guy. I teach a digital music production course at a university and am starting my students on Reaktor tomorrow, so I was looking for some inspiration via youtube... fast forward an hour later and I've watched a third of your videos haha :) Thanks for that! Love Reaktor!

[@summitthescale]

you are the king of tutorials. thank you for simply explaining the fine details.

[@xradical89x]

this is beautiful! thank you so much!

[@360noscopeinator9]

Metaphysical Function is also in Komplete Elements, for those who'd want to know.

[@kotroj]

One question: I want to switch Metaphysical on/off with midi-keyboard. How to do it via EDIT mode?

[@Ntropic]

Beautiful Lissajous Figures

[@dpixvid]

Excellent video!

[@xmpla]

thanks for giving your awesome knowledge out for free!

[@AT-eh2eo]

Wow such great stuff!!

[@NINJATRONdnb]

The Metaphysical is bad ass , i use it a lot for backround atmospheres :)

[@TheSolaris73]

I bought Komplete Elements, prompt how to connect Metaphysical Function synthesizer in Cubase 8 that it was possible to write down its sound? And to work at a midi keyboard?

[@NovemberVIHR]

Can anyone tell what negative OSC note values do?

[@mamka77]

Hello Brent, Thanks for video. How can I quantize sounds to my Project in Logic? I have reactor elements selection. Is this mean that is demo version? Can I create and save new sound? Thanks Again. Marcin.

[@yamielsuarez6472]

simple question, the sliders for the oscillators can be control with a midi controller right?

[@willgardner7185]

Hey - can anyone advise on how to crossfade the sample loop within metaphysical function? I'm getting lots of pops as it plays round again and its so hard to microadjust timings on that little loop window. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

[@sorawboy]

Dear Brent, How can i record this sounds with ableton? + how can i use it like a VST syth? It's a bit tricky to stop the "autoplay" function. waiting for you answer! Thank you!

[@thesunlesscity202]

Link to your website video doesn't work :(, anyone know how to load your own samples into metaphysical function?

[@Darkmatterz69]

What speakers do you use ?

[@filo1210]

Hi Brent is there any way I can sync the tempo of this to Maschine , say to a 4/4 beat? Thanks

[@steff5593]

wow thanks dude!

[@MrSushicon]

having trouble finding that "bonus" video you mentioned on bluewatervst.. can you provide a link in your vid description?

[@BrentKallmer]

Sure--the link for the bonus video is at the top of the description.

[@MrSushicon]

thanks so much, one last question, im having trouble locating spiral as an individual download, any idea where i can find it without updating reaktor?

[@davidfox3374]

I realize this is an old video, but can anyone explain how to drag in an audio file (say a vocal I made) and manipulate it in there

[@PgTrAxX]

+David Fox I know this is an old comment but... did you found out already? If not, you can Google it but here ya go... (hopefully you see the link). www.native-instruments.com/forum/threads/loading-samples-into-metaphysical-function.258298/

[@Darkmatterz69]

How do you control the levels on this?

[@Darkmatterz69]

In other words mater volume

[@AcidSh33tz]

do you know why i dont have a factory tab in my Reactor? just Player/demo/user/disc

[@MadElectronicTunes]

You're running the Demo version. If you have bought the Full version or Komplete Elements, you will have to activate those first.If you haven't bought any of those and you need more information about the Demo mode, you can find it in the "Reaktor 5 Getting Started" pdf file in the "Documentation" folder that comes with Reaktor

[@AcidSh33tz]

thanks for replying, according to my service center it says its activated. any advice?

[@MadElectronicTunes]

El Acido Did you also activate the Factory Selection? If not, maybe that's the cause. If that's not causing it, then it might be best to contact NI Registration Support at: www.native-instruments.com/en/support/contact-support/registration-support/

[@MadElectronicTunes]

El Acido And I also found this forum thread. It's a very old thread, but it might still help. If you're not running OS X, then the first post might not be useful. But an answer might be given in the other posts of that thread. www.native-instruments.com/forum/showthread.php?44194-Activation-problems-with-latest-Kontakt-Reaktor-GR-B4-AP-updates

[@TheOrionZane]

How do I Initialise?

[@AGalanKh]

One of the last snapshots is called "circle" and it's just a pure sine wave without any modulation or fx

[@TheOrionZane]

Thank you so much!
